INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Orion HCCA component set. These components were designed to
live up to the standard set by the legendary CONCEPT 98.1 separates: complete high fidelity
with the Orion attitude. The tunable crossover uses only the highest quality components normally
found in high end home audio equipment. Hand made in the USA, the HCCA separates represent
the pinnacle of high performance car audio.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is designed to instruct you on the use of your new HCCA components. It will enable
you to get the most from your new speakers. But it cannot help you if you do not read it. Read
it, learn it, and keep it handy for future reference. If you still need help, call the pros at your local
authorized Orion dealer. Additionally, you can call Orion technical at (480) 705-5600.
